DADU: The Sindh Taraqqi-pasand Party chairman Dr Qadir Magsi has condemned plans for the construction of six canals on Indus River and said people of Sindh will never accept the canals.

He said while addressing participants in marches staged by his party in Dadu, Khairpur Nathan Shah and Mehar towns on Monday that the projects were akin to terrorism as they would deprive 60 million Sindhis of their right to water.

In Dadu, Magsi accused Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah of betraying Sindhi people, likening his approval of the new canals to fabricated results of population census.

He pointed out that during a meeting of the National Assembly`s Standing Committee on Water Resources, Wagpda Chairman General Sajjad Ghani revealed that the Council of Common Interests (CCI) with the support of Murad Ali Shah had approved the new canals projects.

At K.N. Shah, Magsi demanded immediate cancellation of the six canals and corporate farming projects, calling them part of a broader conspiracy to destroy Sindh.
